Qualifications Package Requirements – 20 Points

Please see the detailed Problem statement for specific RFQ requirements, but consider the following:

• Requested (fictitious) information will be used to evaluate if your company (team) is qualified and capable of addressing the detailed problem.

• The RFQ is used to simulate the “short listing” process in which only those most qualified will be allowed to continue in the bidding, proposing, or negotiating process.

• Assume you have not worked directly or indirectly with this owner before.

• This is your first opportunity to impress the owner.

• The quality and content of the RFQ can often set a precedence of how the owner will view later submissions. How do you want the owner to view your company before they meet you?

• Present the judges with the requested 1-page handout with pictures and project roles?
